Great work, would love to learn more about Wasm.

I can't help but notice that in the editor screenshots there's type information in *.js files.

Why are we still talking about this.

Agreed. Instantly stopped reading at this point, and came to find comments thinking the same.

These examples aren't great. Functions have names for a reason. Use them. Comments get outdated quickly, people forget/are too lazy to update them. Much less likely in my exp. that someone will not change a fn name if it's behaviour changes.

Comments should be reserved for non-obvious information. Github link, complex mathematics etc. Further, at what point does the relevance of a comment end? This ambiguity doesn't exist with a function.

    function addHorizontalScrollbar() {
      hScrollBar = new JScrollBar(scrollBar, HORIZONTAL);
      add(hScrollBar, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    }

    function addVerticalScrollbar() {
      vScrollBar = new JScrollBar(JScrollBar.VERTICAL);
      add(vScrollBar, BorderLayout.EAST);
    }

    function initializeScrollbarCaretPositions() {
      caretX = 0;
      caretY = 0;
      caretMemX = null;
    }

I don't agree with the suggestion of using a Zoom background. "Oh cool, you're sat behind the Golden Gate bridge?", or a fish tank, some clouds...

There are valid uses for backgrounds, I'm sure, but generally speaking it's better to show your real environment. Be it a view of your kitchen, or a wall with ugly wallpaper, I don't care. Superimposing yourself on a faux background enters uncanny valley territory.

OP trying to pump their Safemoon bag.

Agreed, though at least there's one less developer writing about the "TypeScript Tax".

Some well thought out points in this post. I'm of the opinion, though, that the concept of a "10x engineer" just isn't a something to be advocating.

In all walks of life, there are the weak, the strong, and all colours in the middle. Why do the strongest need to be labeled with an exact number? It implies there's a sort of fixed scale, that someone could be an 7x or 8x engineer. It's a form of gate keeping in the same way that being "senior" engineer was/is a coveted title to be earnt.

The best people should be celebrated and rewarded accordingly, but we should move away from absolutist titles that push people to strive for a completely subjective label.

As your run-of-the-mill web dev who's been using TypeScript professionally for about 5 years, I find posts like this fascinating.

Other comments address the main themes in this guys article, mostly not having any context on which to base the argument.

If you don't keep up with the trend, you're going to lose out.

And it kicks in at €30,000

Does not mention:

- CTRL + CMD + ALT + SHIFT + W = Generates 300MB WiFi diagnostics file (as of Catalina)

- CTRL + CMD + ALT + SHIFT + . = Generates System debug file

Installed app on iOS. Drivers MacOS. Tried WiFi and cable.

None of them worked.

Almost certainly an excuse to further suppress PWAs.

> limiting price increases to no more than 10% per year

Oh, well. That's okay then.

Did you have your types root set to `node_modules` in your `tsconfig.json`?

A hugely positive statistic. Next, calculate the savings to parents, in advertised toys that haven't been bought.
